OPINION OF THE COURT
McKee, Circuit Judge.
Richard Velemirovich appeals the dismissal of a pro se complaint by the district
court. The district court construed his “complaint” as alleging a breach of the duty of fair
representation by the defendant union. Accordingly, the district court had subject matter
jurisdiction pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 185.
In its concise M emorandum Opinion and Order, the district court explained why it
was granting the union summary judgment and dismissing the aforementioned complaint.

Although that memorandum is only two pages long, it adequately explains the court’s
reasoning. We conclude the court committed no error, and we affirm the court’s
dismissal substantially for the reasons set forth in its May 31, 2002 Memorandum
Opinion and Order.
TO THE CLERK:
Please file the foregoing opinion.
By the Court
